Review
In this sequel to Tirions Secret Journal, winner of last years Tir na n-Og Award, Jenny Sullivan has recaptured the rich life of Llancaiach Fawr Manor. This time we view its hustle and bustle through the eyes of ten-year-old Thomas Mansell, who is sent there in the summer of 1645 to broaden his education and to provide some discipline for a spirited lad! By sharing his adventures and supported by the extensive footnotes in each chapter, we read about a wide range of topics such as history, politics, medicines, rural practices, religion, witchcraft, pirates, as well as the more immediate details of domestic life and social hierarchies, all in a humorous and accessible manner. What is a steep learning curve for Thomas also hints at universal and contemporary issues for everyone the grim realities of war not accounts of swashbuckling adventures, but the tragic stories of people just like us. Once again this talented writer has produced a slice of living history for us all to enjoy.
